Arista Hortensia @ Hyperion I'm a legacy FFXI/FFXIV player with a lot of knowledge. I'm usually wrong unless it's about Final Fantasy 8; ( ' w ')b @HeavyCura
I think Kiros/Ward said it on the airship. Kiros says he looks like his mother and translates what Ward says, "Good thing he doesn't look like his dad." Plus Laguna carries Squall's card too, I believe.
Ellone wasn't raines daughter, laguna stated that himself when he said her parents were killed when resisting, trying to protect her from soldiers sent in the sorceress war to kidnap her. Even if she wasn't squalls blood sister the bond they had was just as strong regardless.
By the way you can see that Squall really looks like combination of Raine and Laguna. I'm surprised that so many people didn't realize that Squall is Laguna's son 😬😃
Don't forget their names are water related puns. A lagoon + rain = squall. It really did throw it in your face. 8 Was my favorite back then but these days I feel like it could of been written better and made longer.
ffviii is my favorite too. I realized that with the moombas, also when squall's hanging from being tortured in the prison when the moombas get him down, they also call squall Laguna then. I also remember when Laguna, Kyros and Ward go to the bar where Julia plays the piano, if you talk to the galbadia army officer in red, before Laguna attempts to talk to Julia and gets a cramp in his leg because he's nervous, the army officer will declare his infatuation with Julia. If you talk to that same officer after attempting to talk to Julia, he'll be jelous and tells Laguna, something like, "I'll fix you, I'll send you into battle halfway around the world. It was during this time, while Laguna was away and eventually thought to have been killed in battle, Julia was consoled by the man who was known in squall's time line as general caraway, it made me consider that the galbadia army officer in the bar that was jealous of Laguna was perhaps a young caraway.
Ff8 is also my favorite. People who hate the game is, you're right. They want everything to be right in their faces. They bash squall for being "emo" but squall has the best character development and there's a reason why he's defensive. By that alone says a lot about people
it was NOT mentioned in game. but Laguna is REALLY Squall's dad. back in the 90's we were playing it and finished it. when you go back thru the clues of Squall and Laguna, you will realize that Ellone is connected to both of them.
I'm so glad you elaborated on this. Played the game, spent soooo much time power leveling. Let my brother use my play station and he deleted my FF8 saves.... never had the time to play the whole game again but always fell in love with the story.
I've never played FF8, only seen videos (Which I am going to remedy by playing all main Final Fantasy games[I'm on FF3{ the real 3 not 6} right now]), and even I can see Laguna is Squall's Father.
Isn't that the beauty of Final Fantasy games? I mean, the name itself says it all, FANTASY! Having said that, 8 is my favourite by far, just because is the first one I ever played. I always loved Laguna and Raine's story, plus the song Eyes On Me playing in the ending is really nice
I knew about zack from FF7, there was a hidden scene with him back in nibelheim manor that explains the ending to crisis core well before it existed. This was explained in the primaguide well before the internet was a thing. in fact iirc Zack's history was its own questline. FF7 is its own emotional roller coaster when you get deep into it.
FF8 is planned, I'm trying to knock out a Final Fantasy title every month; so eight will happen in January. (So faaar T_T) The link is displayed at the end of the videos; I can attempt to add links in the descriptions though sometimes the RUclips dislike that. I don't know why. ( ' w ')b
Ffviii had the junction system to completely change up the character development the crystals are sick materia is too but having Ninety Nine Death junctions to attack was just instakill status
I know this is pretty old now, but it's all in good fun. Ellone was not Raine's daughter, she was the neighbours daughter who Raine took in when Adel had her parents killed looking for her. So technically Ellone is Squall's adopted Sister. I'm pretty sure Ellone always knew who Squall was but he just saw her as the sisterly figure without knowing his actual connection to her.
Curaga yeah, Im actually playing FF8 right now. I am currently on disk one. I am playing it by non-leveling. I have my stats pretty good. I have Squall at level 7 still with 3086 hp and strength at 124. Im still in the city of Timber.
Curaga you know, I wish someone really smart could mod FF8 or something to make a FF8 game online. I really am a huge fan of that particular world and I would love to explore garden and the other cities.
Ff8 story is more batshit crazy yeah, but that doesn't make it good, people not understanding isn't a good thing, the story is convoluted and overly complicated for no reason at all. also I thought everyone knew Laguna was squalls dad ....
FF7's story was needlessly complicated and contrived as well. I love the game but all of that stupid Sephiroth/Jenova crap makes me roll my eyes every time I play it.

I did a google search and I found this information on a wiki, but I'll have to investigate myself!

Hey, I played that f'n game almost 20 years ago and just realized that Laguna is Squall's father last year lol

That's another great observation that I will have to address when I finally get around to making FF8 content! Cheers.

Fucking Finally!!! Someone who agrees with me. T_T. Now my life is complete.
( ' w ')b
And let's be honest TRIPLE TRIAD CAME FROM FFVIII and is one of the best card mini games they came up with
I don't know many people that dislike Triple Triad. ( ' w' )b
I agree, Triple Triad & Blitzball from FF10 are my 2 favorites in the series!
Ellon is squall cousin
FF8 is one of my favorite games ever, let alone one of my favorite Final Fantasy games ever.
Must suck for those Moombas to be unable to tell the difference between somebody and their parents lol
I laughed out loud. ( ' w ')b
I'm so glad you elaborated on this. Played the game, spent soooo much time power leveling. Let my brother use my play station and he deleted my FF8 saves.... never had the time to play the whole game again but always fell in love with the story.
I loved 8 but it wasn't my favorite. But 8 is amazing. And I agree Laguna is for sure squalls dad and raine is his mother
I've never played FF8, only seen videos (Which I am going to remedy by playing all main Final Fantasy games[I'm on FF3{ the real 3 not 6} right now]), and even I can see Laguna is Squall's Father.
We'll have a lot to talk about as you work your way through. Good luck!

I'd love to see a good knowledgeable play through of ff8, could you add your twitch channel link to the description?
FF8 is planned, I'm trying to knock out a Final Fantasy title every month; so eight will happen in January. (So faaar T_T)

Ffviii had the junction system to completely change up the character development the crystals are sick materia is too but having Ninety Nine Death junctions to attack was just instakill status
When I do eventually get around to making my "FFVIII was the best" video; there will be a lot of junction info. ( ' w ')b
Well I just learned something new
( ' w ')b Cheers! Thanks for the support!
Curaga ANOTHER THING, gratz on finally using Ice on the Adamantoise.
Don't have to tell me twice! ( ' w ')b

And Seifer is Cid's and Edea's kid.
Why do you think that?
@@curaga Its hinted in the game once or twice. + like Laguna haves Squall card, Cid haves Seifer's card.
Also, Seifer looks like Edea.
@@LegoGBlok I dunno about that. Seifer was in the orphanage too.
Good video
Ray Fire Thanks
Curaga yeah, Im actually playing FF8 right now. I am currently on disk one. I am playing it by non-leveling. I have my stats pretty good. I have Squall at level 7 still with 3086 hp and strength at 124. Im still in the city of Timber.
Ray Fire That's the way to do it! When i finally get through my back log of games I would like to get back to challenges like that. GL

Personally, I prefer VIII's story than VII's, I don't understand the craze for it.
I consider VI and IX to be the best though.
In the respect of not understanding the craze for 7, I never really got too invested in 6. I must be weird.
It took me 3 playthroughs to appreciate VI
Did you ever get around to making that FF8 video?
Still have to make my way through 4, 5. 6. 7. And tactics. Hopefully I can get something cooking by remake time.
I don't know whether to love you for praising Final Fantasy VIII, or hate you for that repulsive noise at the beginning and end of this video.
